Marjoram Sweet Essential Oil Information

Marjoram essential oil offers very positive effects on mental, emotional, and psychological aspects. It has soothing properties that help relieve hyperactivity disorders, stress, and anxiety. The Marjoram plant from which the essential oil is extracted is popularly referred to as "Happiness Herb," "Plant of Love and Longevity," or "Joy of the Mountains." Its oil can be used as analgesic, anti-spasm, and anti-inflammatory for relevant conditions such as arthritis, sprains, and strains, and migraine. It may also be used for symptoms of indigestion and dyspepsia for its carminative properties. It also has bronchodilator effects that can relieve asthma attack, cough, and bronchitis.

Use Marjoram oil in burners or diffusers to treat these conditions as well as to relieve fatigue, anxiety, nervous breakdown, and to improve blood circulation. While its side effects include decrease in libido, it can improve menstrual flow and relieve dysmenorrhea. Its relaxant effect may improve sleeping pattern.

I used this oil as a blend with Clary Sage, Chamomile and Rosewood oil for severe menstrual cramps for my daughter. I used Olive oil as a carrier oil. She rubbed it into her lower abdomen and applied a warm towel on top for relaxing relief. It's helped with her cramps, irritability and anxiety that comes along with her monthly period. - Alice Paoletti

I bought this for my boyfriend's toe nails as they were black with fungus. I read up on treating toenail fungus and this product was recommended. In a matter of two weeks I could see significant improvement even though he was able to do it as many times per day as recommended. He continues to show improvement - nails are clearing up nicely. I would highly recommend. - Sandra A. Brown
